Doctave
Doctave is an opinionated documentation site generator that converts your Markdown files into a beautiful developer documentation site. This site you are looking at now is built with Doctave!
It is not a generic static site generator - it is only meant for generating documentation sites from Markdown. This allows the tool to be much simpler than other solutions, and requires little to no configuration. You just start documenting.
Doctave is written in Rust and is distributed as a single self-contained binary. It has no dependencies, and works on Mac, Linux, and Windows.
This open source tool is built and maintained by Doctave.com.
